Host RJ-11 IP Gateway User Guide, version 27
Configuration Settings and Commands
DNS Settings
The DNS Settings page allows you to specify a DNS name for your unit, specify the addresses of
DNS servers to resolve names, and to pre-define some host names. The DNS name and servers can
also be derived from a DHCP server.
FIGURE 10. Host RJ-11 IP Gateway: DNS Settings
If the device server is configured to use DHCP, it will try to get DNS configuration information
from the DHCP server. You may also manually set up static DNS entries on this page. Having DNS
configured allows you to specify names in place of IP addresses in your configuration.
The DNS Domain Name is used as the default domain for any names you specify. For instance, if
you specify the name “foo” in the ping command and the domain name “company.com” in the
DNS Domain Name above, the ping command will do a DNS lookup on the name “foo.com
-
pany.com”.
